Does KDX PPF protect against stone chips and road rash?
Does KDX PPF protect against stone chips and road rash?
Yes. PPF is made to absorb impact from small stones, sand, and road debris. It reduces chips and rash significantly, especially on high impact areas, but it cannot guarantee zero damage in extreme situations.

KDX clear PPF is typically offered in three levels in many markets. An entry level series for basic daily protection at a more accessible price, a premium series such as KDX Ultra Clear with higher clarity, stronger gloss and better stain resistance, and a top tier series such as KDX Ultra Clear Pro with maximum clarity, improved hydrophobic behavior and longer warranty. All of them are proven and tested in Middle East conditions since 2014.
Is KDX PPF self healing?
Is KDX PPF self healing?
Most premium KDX PPF series are heat healing or self healing. Light swirls and fine scratches can disappear with heat from the sun, warm water, or hot air. Deep cuts that go through the film will not heal.
How does KDX PPF self healing protection work?
How does KDX PPF self healing protection work?
Premium KDX PPF series use an elastic clear coat that softens slightly with heat from the sun, warm water or gentle heat sources. Fine swirls and light surface marks relax and level out, which makes the film look smoother again. Deep cuts or damage that reach the base film will not heal.
How does KDX PPF compare to ceramic coatings?
How does KDX PPF compare to ceramic coatings?
KDX PPF is a physical film layer that helps protect against stone chips, sand rash and light impact, while ceramic coatings are thin layers that mainly improve gloss and chemical resistance. Many installers apply a coating on top of KDX PPF for easier cleaning, but coating alone cannot replace film for impact protection.
What is the usual warranty period for KDX films?
What is the usual warranty period for KDX films?
Most KDX films have a limited warranty of around 5 to 10 years. This depends on:
• Product series
• Application area such as body panels, glass, or lights
• Local distributor and country policy
Always follow the official warranty terms of your local KDX distributor.

How does my shop process a warranty claim?

Can KDX PPF be installed on a brand new car?
Can KDX PPF be installed on a brand new car?
Yes. Most brand new cars leave the factory with fully cured paint, so KDX PPF can be installed almost immediately. It is better to protect the paint as early as possible so the film takes the damage instead of the clear coat.
Can KDX PPF be installed on repainted or repaired panels?
Can KDX PPF be installed on repainted or repaired panels?
KDX PPF can be installed on quality repaint work, but the paint must be fully cured and properly prepared. Many paint shops recommend around 30 days curing before any film is applied. If the repaint is weak or not cured, any peeling or failure of the paint itself is a paint issue and not a KDX film defect.
Can KDX films be applied over wraps, graphics or KKVinyl stripes?
Can KDX films be applied over wraps, graphics or KKVinyl stripes?
Yes. In many cases KDX clear PPF can be installed over vinyl wraps, graphics or KKVinyl stripes. The film will follow the shape of the graphics and there might be a small air line where it crosses a hard edge. Warranty only covers the KDX film, not the existing graphics or paint under it, so it is always better to test a small section and follow the advice of your installer.
Can KDX PPF be used on matte or satin paint finishes?
Can KDX PPF be used on matte or satin paint finishes?
Yes. KDX has matte and satin style PPF options for vehicles that need a low gloss finish. When you install gloss clear KDX PPF on matte paint, it will make the surface look glossier, so for a true matte look your shop should use a suitable KDX matte series and show a sample on your panel before you decide.
Can KDX films be used on carbon fiber parts or aftermarket body kits?
Can KDX films be used on carbon fiber parts or aftermarket body kits?
KDX PPF and KDX Colored PPF can be installed on many carbon fiber and aftermarket parts, as long as the surface is smooth and stable. Some carbon fiber pieces and body kits are not OEM paint and may not be covered by standard KDX warranty if the clear coat fails under the film, so always follow the advice of an authorized KDX installation shop.
Can KDX PPF be applied on headlights, tail lamps and interior gloss panels?
Can KDX PPF be applied on headlights, tail lamps and interior gloss panels?
Yes. KDX clear and tinted headlight protection films are designed for lamps and light lenses, and KDX clear PPF can also be used on high gloss interior panels that scratch easily. The film must be installed by a professional so that edges are sealed and no water or cleaning chemicals are trapped around electronics and switches.
Can KDX films be used on motorbikes and other vehicles, not just cars?
Can KDX films be used on motorbikes and other vehicles, not just cars?
Yes. KDX PPF and KDX Colored PPF can be installed on motorcycles, pickups, SUVs and other vehicles where there is a smooth painted surface. Many installers protect bike tanks, fairings and high impact panels with the same KDX films used on cars. For boats or unusual applications, follow the guidance of your local KDX distributor before assuming warranty coverage.
How is KDX PPF installed?
How is KDX PPF installed?
KDX PPF is installed by professional installers who clean and prepare the paint, use a slip solution to position the film, squeegee out the solution and air, then finish the edges and curves with controlled heat. Some shops use pre cut patterns, others install from bulk rolls.
Are there DIY versions of KDX PPF?
Are there DIY versions of KDX PPF?
KDX PPF is intended for professional installation, especially on full panels and complex shapes. Small universal pieces may be installed by experienced users, but for full coverage we always recommend working with a trained installer who uses proper tools and slip solutions.
Can I take my vehicle with KDX PPF through a car wash?
Can I take my vehicle with KDX PPF through a car wash?
Yes, once the film has fully cured after installation, you can take the vehicle through a car wash. Avoid very aggressive brushes, direct high pressure on film edges and harsh chemicals. Touchless or gentle hand wash is usually safest for long term appearance.
Can I wax or detail KDX PPF?
Can I wax or detail KDX PPF?
You can use waxes, sealants or detail sprays that are safe for paint protection film and plastic surfaces. Avoid products with strong solvents, abrasives or heavy polishing compounds. Always test on a small area first or follow the recommendations of your KDX installer.
Can KDX PPF be removed after installation?
Can KDX PPF be removed after installation?
Yes. KDX PPF is designed to be removable by a trained installer. When applied on original factory paint and removed correctly with controlled heat, the film should come off without damaging the paint underneath. Repainted or weak paint systems always have higher risk.
Does KDX PPF need maintenance?
Does KDX PPF need maintenance?
Yes. Paint protection film still needs regular washing and basic care. Dirt, bugs, bird droppings and stains should be cleaned as soon as possible so they do not dry on the surface. Normal maintenance keeps the film looking clear and helps it last longer.
How do I care for KDX PPF?
How do I care for KDX PPF?
Wait until the film has cured before washing. After that, wash the car regularly with a mild car shampoo, avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive pads, and do not aim high pressure directly at exposed edges. Removing contaminants early and using PPF safe products will help the film stay clear and glossy.
How soon after KDX PPF installation can I wash or pressure wash my car?
How soon after KDX PPF installation can I wash or pressure wash my car?
Most shops recommend waiting around 48 to 72 hours before washing the car after KDX PPF installation. After the film has cured, you can hand wash using a pH balanced shampoo and soft wash tools. If you use a pressure washer, keep the nozzle at a safe distance and do not aim directly at film edges, badges or corners.
Can I apply ceramic coating or sealant on top of KDX PPF or KDX Colored PPF?
Can I apply ceramic coating or sealant on top of KDX PPF or KDX Colored PPF?
Yes. Many installers apply ceramic coatings that are safe for TPU films on top of KDX PPF to add extra slickness, easier washing and water beading. A coating does not remove the self healing effect of the KDX topcoat, but the coating layer itself may or may not self heal. KDX clear and KDX Colored PPF already have hydrophobic and stain resistant surfaces, so coating is optional.
